According to the concept of length contraction, what happens to the length of an object as it approaches the speed of light and

then slows down, eventually coming to a stop? It is always observed as contracting. It is always observed as the same length. It is observed as expanding and then contracting back to its original length. It is observed as contracting and then expanding back to its original length.

When an object moves its length contracts in the direction of motion. The faster it moves the shorter it gets in the direction of motion.
The object in this question moves and then stops moving. So it's length first contracts and then expands to its original length when the motion stops.
The speed doesn't have to be anywhere near the speed of light. When the object moves its length contracts no matter how fast or slow it's moving.

A rod of very small diameter with a mass 2m and length 3L is placed along the xaxis with one end at the origin. An identical rod
rewona [7]

Answer:

coordinates of the center of mass for these two rods

(x_{cm}, y_{cm})= (\frac{3L}{4},  \frac{3L}{4})cm

Explanation:

given

mass of a rod = 2m

length of the rod = 3L

mass of two rods = 2(2m) = 4m

radius = diameter/2 = \frac{3L}{2}

attached is the diagram and solution to the question

A line of charge starts at x = +x0 and extends to positive infinity. The linear charge density is λ = λ0x0/x. Determine the elec
kari74 [83]

Explanation:

it is given that, the linear charge density of a charge, \lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_ox_o}{x}

Firstly, we can define the electric field for a small element and then integrate for the whole. The very small electric field is given by :

dE=\dfrac{k\ dq}{x^2}..........(1)

The linear charge density is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{dq}{dx}

dq=\lambda.dx=\dfrac{\lambda_ox_o}{x}dx

Integrating equation (1) from x = x₀ to x = infinity

E=\int\limits^\infty_{x_o} {\dfrac{k\lambda_ox_o}{x^3}}.dx

E=-\dfrac{k\lambda_ox_o}{2}\dfrac{1}{x^2}|_{x_o}^\infty}

E=\dfrac{k\lambda_o}{2x_o}

Hence, this is the required solution.
